There have been a few tweaks to the deal between the time of announcement and the close preparation process, according to today's blog post. Specifically, Microsoft will manage the Nokia.com domain and social-media sites for "up to a year." In addition, Microsoft is not going to purchase Nokia's Korean manufacturing facility, which was originally slated to be part of the deal.

"The original deal had all employees in Nokia’s Chief Technology Office continuing with Nokia. We’ve adjusted the agreement so the 21 employees in China working on mobile phones will join Microsoft and continue their work," added today's post.
